Jesus Restores Peter

By a charcoal fire on the beach, Jesus asks Peter three times: 'Do you love me?'

Passion WeekNew Testament

What Happened

After the resurrection, Peter goes back to fishing. Jesus appears on the shore of the Sea of Galilee and cooks breakfast. Then, three times — once for each denial — he asks Peter if he loves him. Each time Peter says yes, Jesus tells him to feed his sheep. It's a quiet, powerful moment of restoration, turning Peter's worst failure into a fresh calling.

Breakfast on the Beach

After the resurrection, Jesus shows up on a beach at dawn and cooks breakfast for his friends. Then he pulls Peter aside and asks him the same question three times — a conversation that will reshape everything Peter thought he knew about failure and forgiveness.
